Sometimes, after a long day of work, it’s nice to relax and have a drink. But now and then you want something different than your standard glass of wine. At least I do, so I a little while ago I started looking for a new favourite. And I found it! A surprisingly tasty and versatile drink :). Meet my new favorite spirit: OUR/Vodka by OUR/Amsterdam.

Years ago I occasionally ordered a vodka-lime during a night out, but over the last few years I never had a vodka anymore. What made me curious to try vodka again was the simplicity of the beautiful OUR/Amsterdam bottle and the four special ‘infusions’. The concept behind the brand also appealed to me. OUR/Vodka is a global vodka brand that is made in micro-distelleries in 9 different big cities. Next to OUR/Amsterdam, there’s an OUR/Detroit, OUR/NewYork, OUR/London en OUR/Berlin, OUR/Seattle, OUR/Houston, OUR/Miami and OUR/Los Angeles. Each city gives its own twist to the vodka.

New are the four different Do-It-Yourself OUR/infusions kits. The 4 teabags contain different blends that you can put in your bottle at home. In a couple of minutes till hours you have a special vodka with a surprising taste. My favourite infusions are the OUR/Tea infusion and OUR/Oak infusion, but there’s also the OUR/Juniper infusion and OUR/Citrus infusion. The first is a Classic Earl blend and which gives a refreshing bergamot taste to your vodka in 15 minutes. The second one has to infuse a bit longer, 8 to 15 hours, but then you have a delicious dark vodka with a hint of vanilla and smokey toasted oak.

You can choose to drink OUR/Vodka pure and simple, with or without ice. But if you desire something more exiting then you can mix it in countless ways. Make yourself a tasty sgroppino, bloody mary or vodka with fresh orange juice for example.

Also give this recipe a try! For the OUR/OAK INFUSED MINT MULE you need:

→ 2 parts of OAK infused OUR/vodka

→ 1/4 part lime

→ 5 mint leaves

→ ginger beer

Add the lime and mint in a tall glass and muddle. Add the OAK infused OUR/Vodka, ice and top it off with ginger beer. Give it a quick stir and garnish with a mint leaf.

De OUR/infusions are available for €22,50. For this price you get one of the four infusions
